Sinister: Dick? Slap?

[Robin Stout]

Hello

       I thought I'd poke my head in for a few thoughts on Legal Man. 
Well, reading all the comments on the list, from the glowing to the 
glowering, I think that in a way, I agree with all of them. Legal Man 
itself is okay, although off the single I like JIADS better, and Winter 
Wooskie's okay too, but it's all a little too, well, orchestrated. I don't 
think that B+S would be better if they couldn't play their instruments 
or anything like that, but when I used to be in a brass band, our 
conductor always used to tell us to imagine we were playing a piece 
for the first time, and Legal Man sounds like it's being played for the 
last time in a long day, when the whole band would rather go down 
the chip shop. Judy Is A Dick Slap is good, though, lots of 
synthesisers. But Legal Man is a little self conscious. Get out of the 
office? I think B+S should get out of the studio and back into the 
church hall.

       From the sleeve, it looks like The Loneliness Of A Middle 
Distance Runner will be the next single, and I love this song to bits, 
so I hope it's a good recording.

       A girl outside my window has just had her umbrella blown 
inside out. It's raining, but I have to go to my exam.

Bye

      Robin xxxx
